"The school is great, and the teachers really great with students. The athletic department is dominant here."

"We had two children go through this school and I can say we were extremely pleased with the academic, music and sports programs. Both our children were involved in honors and AP classes while being athletes and musicians. Our daughter graduated with scholarships for academic, athletic and music. Our son graduated with academic and sport scholarship offers . The school is what you choose to make it. We as parents were very pleased how PHS prepared our kids for college. When challenges were presented it built character! The tougher the competition the harder the kids had to work! Our children did extremely well. We were very pleased."

"at the beggining of the year i fell behind in algebra, but the teachers don't wait for you if you need help, you have to ask for the help yourself. i am also involed in music, marching band and jazz. and the instructors all work very hard for the group's success."

"I sent my child to this school for her freshman year, and I'm not surprised to say it was unsatisfactory. My daughter is intelligent in all subjects, especially math, but what surprised me the most is how the math skills are lacking in that school. The teachers work directly off the book and refuse to incorporate ANY mental, emotional and psychological factors in the child's learning. The principal, though seems like a smart guy, has his mind set on staying a top school- which he attempts to accomplish by pushing the students to work faster and get chapters done quicker. Many BRAND new unexperienced teachers came this year and even more plan to return next year as a result of the district cutting down the budget. This school simply isn't what it claims it is and most parents are oblivious to this mainly because Prospect hardly incorporates them into the system."
